As an IT manager and seasoned self-help geek, I’m intensely curious about what engages people, what makes work fulfilling and how teams can achieve their full potential. DriveTime’s high performance culture is a perfect outlet for that curiosity. Every day I get to work with intelligent and talented personalities that challenge me as a manager and humble me as a person. I think what attracts those types of people to DriveTime is the chance to work on cutting-edge projects that push the automotive industry forward while being valued for who they are.

Luckily, Arizona has a lot to offer outside work as well. I generally gravitate towards Phoenix’s vibrant Latin dance community or the world class mountain bike trails of Sedona. As a former professional musician I also get my fill of live music at local venues and festivals. Additionally, as an equities day trader, Phoenix’s time zone makes it possible to trade in the morning before local working hours while the US stock exchanges are open.

I enjoy the people I have met and work with at Drivetime. At Drivetime, you are constantly challenged to grow both personally and professionally. I like the diversity and the daily challenge of thinking about “why” and “how” we do things while being empowered to innovate and try new things. I like that the company moves quickly and allows us to learn as we go instead of overthinking change which can slow down movement. This can be challenging but creates a constant learning environment that I enjoy.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my daughter. She keeps me busy either as a spectator at one of her many basketball games or talking me into climbing 60-80 feet in the trees to complete random obstacle courses. I enjoy trying new things and have gone parasailing, white river rafting, skydiving, snorkeling, tubing, motorcycle riding and zip lining to name a few. I quickly bore of the things you can do every day and like to add a few adventures to life.

I like the culture of family and comradery most while working here at DriveTime. I like the fact that every day I come to work even though we are doing the same thing the way that we do it could change from week to week and sometimes day to day. I like the fact that you can really be rewarded by your work and opportunities will come who “do their job.”

In my free time I like riding motorcycle with my wife on charity rides, fishing, golf and attending any U.C.F (University of Central Florida ) Knights sporting events!

DriveTime is honestly the best job I have ever had. Everyone here is treated like family, it's the best place to work if you enjoy a fun entertaining atmosphere. My position here at DriveTime is awesome. I get to do something that I love. To me DriveTime isn't just a job, I plan on it being my career.

I enjoy outdoor activities, me and my family love to go fishing and camping. I recently went zip lining and really enjoyed myself.

I love how collaborative and open DriveTime is. Every project utilizes the skills of every member of the team. It’s clear that it’s through the individual strengths of each member working together that a project reaches its full potential. I get to work with a marketing team that is constantly brainstorming how to improve all aspects of the car purchasing process. Being included in those conversations and contributing each day has already grown my understanding of the business immensely!

Outside of work you can find me in a hammock reading and listening to music. I like concerts, taking pictures, hiking and exploring.

I like the continued opportunities I have to not only make a direct impact on our business, but to grow my personal skillsets outside of my comfort zone. My co-workers are truly my extended family and the type of people I enjoy hanging out with on a daily basis.

When I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with my fiancée and Labrador-Pointer dog, Lucy. She has enough energy to keep us preoccupied for the majority of the day. And when she’s all tuckered out, she just wants to cuddle with you, which is pretty irresistible.

I was drawn to DriveTime because of the people. I love to surround myself with people who are ambitious, driven and passionate but also know how to laugh and have fun. That is exactly what I have found here.

I am from North Carolina, so in my spare time I enjoy exploring the wonders of the West with my husband! I have had the most fun so far in LA, Vegas, visiting the Hoover Dam, taking jeep tours through Sedona and viewing the majestic Grand Canyon from above in a helicopter. I also enjoy hiking, swimming, game nights, singing, dancing and attending sports events!

What I love most about working at DriveTime is the comradery amongst different departments. Whether you are working within your department or reaching out to other departments, there continues to be a One Team culture. We understand that we all may face challenges but we are stronger as a single unit and it shows daily. I also love the fact that the perspective and ideas from many people are shared and everyone can have a voice. We strive to get better at what we do daily!

Outside of work I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and friends. My family lives a very adventurous and spur of the moment lifestyle. We love to just get up and go and do what feels right for the day. I really enjoy listening to live music at various local spots around the city. The goal of my wife and I is to expose our children to a wide variety of cultures while creating a never ending educational and fun lifestyle!

Everyone you meet is genuinely enjoying their day being at work. Home office is a very vibrant and happy atmosphere. I’ve noticed a strong company culture that generously provides you with all the tools, encouragement and freedom needed to perform your work the best way possible. Everyone is open to new ideas and ways of doing business.

Hiking, running, basketball, dog parks and exploring Arizona.

What do I love most about DriveTime? It’s very simple; the people. Anywhere you go in DriveTime your peers are working hard for one goal and are eager to lend a helping hand. The eclectic personalities never make two days feel alike! There are many opportunities in the company and great people pushing you to reach new heights.

I love to be active, I'm a bit of a foodie, and I enjoy spending time with my family! I will go kayaking, fishing, running, cycling and gym at the drop of a hat. Daily, I love to cook and bake whatever I can whip up!

I love the engagement and interaction with my fellow employees. We rely on each other to accomplish the goal of providing the best possible product for our customers.

Outside of work I try to stay busy. I enjoy music, reading and playing baseball. My favorite activity is being outdoors finding an adventure with my kids!

The best part about working for Drivetime is the people. We only hire energetic, motivated, good natured people who are interested in helping each other and our community. The people make this company what it is, and the culture within is what keeps the engine moving forward and keeps DriveTime leaders within our industry. It’s great to work at a place where employee retention is a major focus and you can see people that have been here for over 10 years.

Outside of work I enjoy music. I enjoy producing music as well as listening and collecting music. I own over 5000 pieces of vinyl and so many cds it would take a full day to count. Of course in this new age of technology I just had to upgrade to a 3 tetrabyte hard drive to hold more music. A fun day for me outside of work includes going into the studio with new artists and assisting in the creation of new music. I also enjoy assisting in getting the music from the studio to the radio.

What I enjoy most about DriveTime is the fun and welcoming culture they have to offer. Every day you are greeted by co-workers with a welcoming presence making it extremely enjoyable to come to work. My departments managers are incredible and extremely helpful if any questions do arise along the way. DriveTime’s internship program is a hands-on experience that will benefit anyone greatly as they further their knowledge and career.

Outside of work I enjoy exercising, hiking, and going to the lake. Anything that involves sports or high energy activities is something I really like to be involved in. I also enjoy hanging out with friends and meeting new people whenever I have the opportunity.
